Obviously this is a time to make the opportunity, not to wait for it, and tt some have the desire, and lack the ur^e to do so, then their stock of iMrve force is disastrously low, and •hould immediately be raised to the necessary working power level with Phosferine. As always, the race is to the strong, and the ener^sing vitality of Phos- ferine ensures that one easily holds one's own in competition with others. The origin of mo.st failures, dis- abilities, and inferioritie."!, is defi- ciency of nerve force, which a short course of Phosferine soon replaces with the stamina to make your opportunity!

Prevention is better than cure" is an old motto that Lan be applied ti the control of mildews and mould.s in greenhouses. The first principle '.n prevention is that of cleanliness which means the destruction of all foliajre in the jrrecn- house which is liively to harbour the mildew organism. Most ni kiews pa.ss the wintering stage on diseased parts of the plants atacked. Empty green- houses n;ay also be freed of many overwintering surface fungi by bur;;- ing 10 ounce.'! of sulphur per 1.000 cubic feet en hot coals or chips soak- ed in coal o 1. The houses shouUi be closed tightly for about 24 hours dur- ing this process. The second meth.x! of prvvoniion is that of creating an unfavoura'i'e environment for the germination and further growth of the mildew or mould organisms. Spores of ml Jew, for instai.ce. retjuire some moisture before they can germinate. This moisture can be present on the leavc<! of the plant either after overhead watering or as a dewy deposite due to excessive humid ty in a stagr.ar:' atnT-sphere. This generally occurs at night. Such conditicps can be part- ly remedied by gooil ventilation and increasing the temperature. It has been recently found, for in- stance, that leaf mould of tomatoes can be controlled by nia'ntaining the relative humidity below 70 per cent., when the temperature is 7'2 degrees F., or else 75 per cent, when the tem- perature is 04 degrees F. Unfortun- ately many greenhouses are not equipped with aderv-iato facilities for ventilation and hcafng. It is important that each green- house operator should possess, not only the ordinary thermometers, but also wet and dry bulb thermometers by means of which he can accurately determine the percentage of hum- idity it. his greenhouse. He should think of hum'dity in the same way as he thinks of tciitiorature â€" in fig- ures. When the .tbovo methods of control have proved unsatisfactory there is still the old standby of prevention by spraying or dusting. .\s far as mil- dews are concerned, sulphur sprays and dusts in their various form? are the one,; that have given the best re- sults. The main point is to h.ave a good coverage of the spray or dust on the foliage and thus prevent the ger- mination of the spores th''t might be around. The K. S. Resin spray de- veloped at the Snanic'hton Laboratory has proved qu'te effective against i mildew of roses. When sulphur dust is applied it should be as fine as pos- sible. In the control of tomato leaf mould, vaporised sulphur has proved quite effective with many growers. Care must be taken, however, to avoid injuring the plants durng this pro- cess. Vaporised sulphur must be de- posited on the leaves as very tine elemental sulphur. Many Meals Make For Greater Efficiency Angel Cake anj five m-'als a day may increase the pro.luctivity of fac- tory operatives as much as 10 per cent. This Is the discovtry of two Yale University scientists. Dr. H. W. Hasmurd and L. A. Greenber!?. They have studied â- 'huniau guinea pigs.'' including a group of them who work in a slice factory. It Is found that eating five times a day tends to reduce industri.il fatigue. The angel lake is in the picture because some of the subjects of the e.xperimonis might have declined the daily five had they been denied this particular delicacy.

'eii 20 to 2'> per cent, in 1M5. Drawing attention to the remark- able growth which mining has ex- perienced, the Royal Bank of Can- ada, in its monthly letter for March, nt>tes particularly that, whereas the value of minerals did not^decline as rapidly as the value of other indus- trial products with the onset of the depression, on the other hard the re- covery in value of mineral produc- tion since 1982 has been more rapid than that in any other industry. Whe.e total prl.-iiary production in It'20 had a vabe of $2,277,1151.000, mining produ>-ti n that year amount- ed to $213,042,000. Mineral produc- tion held appro.ximately the same ra- tio to total primary production the following year. With 1923 and 1924, minerals began to constitute a larg- er proporti' n of the total prima:;.- production in each of these years of Ies= than .? 1,500.000.000 . By 1920 mineral provlui-linr. a;n- our.tcd tj aim.: it one-sixth of i?l.S7o.- 38".onO, the toat! value of piimary produ"t'on. By ll'3.j mliteral ourp'vit exceeded $300,000,000, and came within 1 per cent, of the peak of iSSlO.OOD.OOO atrair.eii in 192t''. New high recorls were aitalnet! for gold, nickt-l, ,-opper and zinc. .Seventeen new Canadian gold mires were brought into production â€" eight in C>r.- lurio, five in British Colu:r.hia. thre" ill Quebec and one in Ma:i:tjba. Of no less iaiportance as a bar- ometer of prog-ess in rt'ti'tg has been the growth of n::ni.ng payrolls (iuri'-.g the past five years. .Accord- ing to me'norandum issued by the Ontario Mining Association recently, the total payroll for the Ontario mining industry has inorer.sev.: from $27.o33.00u in l'J27 to $34.4;!3.00O In 1933. while for gold inin.es alone the payroll has in^'reased from -$12,910.- 000 to $21,023.1)00 in the satne per- iod.
